I've been confused for a while about the way so many writers seem to have confused Power Girl's costume with the bulk of her established characterization. I keep continuing to think of her as the mostly bad-tempered ball-breaker that she started out as, despite the many more recent comments that various writers have made about "Most men like her". The way I remember it, her only actual friends were the Earth-2 Huntress & Wonder Woman, and most men, including both Supermen, were at least a little afraid of her (or at least irritated by her attitude), with only Star-Spangled Kid & Firestorm so mesmerized by her cleavage that they never quite noticed what went with it. But then, I also find it odd that none of the writers who make the hussy-like comments about PG have ever seemed to write her quite acting that way.It should be noted that Power Girl began as part of a sub-specied of comic book chara known as "Conway Women", who were a transistional phase from "Stan Lee Girls" to "Clairemont Goddesses", and included Thundra from the FF and Ms. Marvel (and briefly Namorita), who were pretty much all interchangeable "tough broads" who thought all men were incompetent, and had no qualms about pointing that out as often as possible.

This is the timeframe when Power Girl goes around flirting up a storm with Firestorm (who, we must note, at the time has the mind of a high-school kid. And the mind of a 65-year-old physics professor, but it's the high-school kid who's in charge.)

Is this before or after Zatanna targets Dale Gunn? (Before, I'd guess...looks like Satellite-Era.)

I always thought it was because of her gradual slipslide into the Vertigo Universe that Zee is protrayed as having a healthy and enthusiastic sex life, but I can see now the ground work for that characterization is even in the G-rated comics, huh?

But I still can't picture Hawkman (Earth-1 or -2) responding with a surprised "Say!" to Zatanna's nose-kiss.

(She has, at various points, been one of the most powerful magicians in all of DC continuity. And even when she wasn't wielding her full powers, that sort of "wardrobe" thing presumably would have been as automatic for her as breathing.)
